Chapter 179: A little troublesome, but not a big problem
"There's nothing we can't say about this. After all, that place is no secret in Late Winter City."
Ted walked to the window unknowingly and began to narrate slowly.
Among the several base stations to be built in Reagan, there are two places that are a bit strange...
One is located near the former village of Sindel.
This is a relatively remote village that originally belonged to a goblin village.
It's also quite old, and it's considered the jurisdiction of Late Winter City.
It had always been peaceful and fine, until more than half a year ago, a strange thing happened in the village, that is, many goblins felt inexplicably dizzy, weak, etc. after getting up.
At first, I thought it was caused by tiredness from work, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
But as time goes by, more and more goblins are showing such symptoms, and what’s even more terrifying is that some villagers are missing!
The kind that disappears overnight.
This made the village panicked for a while.
The villagers thought it was Satan's punishment for a while, and worshiped and made offerings one after another, hoping to be forgiven and let the village and themselves be spared.
When this incident reached the City of Winter End, it was already two days later.
If a person goes missing, Winter End City will definitely send people over to investigate as soon as possible.
Because there hasn't been such a strange thing near Late Winter City for a long time, so the one who left the team this time was Charles, the unlucky captain of the law enforcement team.
There was no need for him to take action in this kind of matter, but he thought that this matter should be easily solved, so he took the initiative to ask for help.
did not expect.
On the first day of the investigation, no clues were left, and the situation in the village became increasingly serious.
Two more goblins are missing!
In the late winter, the city increased its efforts and dispatched additional manpower.
Finally, three days later, the body of a missing person was found behind a bush.
He was the first goblin to disappear.
The body has been rotten for a long time, and the whole body is withered, and the blood has been forcibly drained, and the appearance is extremely terrifying.
The soldiers who discovered it immediately began to gag.
At the same time, after seeing this corpse, Charles and everyone else had a premonition that the missing goblins were probably in danger at this moment.
While additional manpower will continue to be deployed for the search and investigation, the entire village will conduct careful patrols 24 hours a day to prevent the recurrence of goblin disappearances.
The bad news is that there is still no progress in the investigation and inspection. Except for occasionally finding the bodies of previously missing villagers, nothing else has been found.
The good news is that, perhaps because of the patrol, there have been no missing villagers for a week.
I thought the situation was beginning to ease and I could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
but……
A few days later, the villagers were still not missing, but the soldiers patrolling the city in late winter disappeared and died in large numbers.
What makes people feel even more horrified is that these corpses will be found one after another three days later.
Moreover, it was found in the same condition as the body of the goblin villager that was found first, with all the blood drained out.
And, it was still the same after that, some soldiers disappeared, and finally the bodies were found.
This seems to be a provocation to the city in late winter.
At a glance, you can tell it's man-made.
It's not a punishment from Satan at all.
But what if you know that?
There is nothing you can do against him. He is in the light and the city is in darkness at the end of winter. There is no way to force him out.
And as time goes by, both the people in Late Winter City and the mental pressure are huge.
Charles decided to report the situation here.
In the end, Dongmu City dispatched one of its strongest personnel to conduct a final investigation, hoping to find the murderer as soon as possible.
But in the end it was all in vain.
For the sake of the overall situation, this mission had to be suspended and all the villagers in this village moved away.
Make that area a restricted area.
Even after all this time, no one dared to go in or out of that area.
Not long ago, a demon traveling from other places accidentally entered. After so long, there is still no sign of him. It is estimated that he is in danger now.
If the base station is to be built there, this problem must be solved.
Otherwise, let alone building a base station, people would probably be dead within a short time of entering.
…
Another place is located in the forest.
Compared with the situation in Sindel Village, the situation there is much better.
Because at least we know where the trouble spots are.
Due to environmental factors, it is very suitable for the growth and survival of demon-eating ants.
Therefore, there are many demon-devouring ant nests there all year round, and they come out to forage every day.
They are not too picky about food. As long as it can enter their mouths, they can eat and digest it.
If the base station is built here, it is mainly to prevent it from being eaten by demon-eating ants.
This is easy to say and difficult to say.
The specific method still needs to be solved by yourself.
For example, you can use crystal yellow grass, which is hated by Demon-Eating Ants, to drive it away and make it take a detour.
Of course, it's just dispersal.
If the other party has no food to eat in this kind of winter, then no matter how annoying it is, it will still bite the bullet and eat.
So, this still depends on method.
Moreover, crystal yellow grass is quite expensive, and the effect can only be maintained for a week, so it needs to be replaced once a week.
Not only is it a waste of financial resources, it is also a waste of manpower.
Therefore, it is not a good idea to build a base station in this place.
If possible, it is best not to build in these two places, but to find another place.
After listening to Ted's words, Reagan also understood.
"So that's it. It's okay, Lord Ted. I'll go and see what's going on first."
The locations for building base stations have been precisely confirmed by "hard work", and these are the best places.
Although the problems Ted mentioned are troublesome, they are not particularly troublesome.
At the worst possible outcome, go and take a look yourself first. If you can solve it yourself, do it yourself.
If it can't be solved, let Master Eugene think of a solution.
I don't know why, but Reagan always felt that Eugene seemed to be very free during this period. As for me, being so busy, I always felt that I should find something for him to do.
